Stack's Bowers Galleries will hold several auctions in Las Vegas, Nevada, in early August featuring NGC-graded vintage coins from all over the world. Online bidding for Session C, which includes many important NGC-certified world coins, is now open, with the auction ending on August 6, 2020.

Among the most anticipated coins in the sale is an Italy 1901R 5 Lire graded NGC MS 60. This rare coin is from a mintage of only 114 that were used as presentation pieces.
